1.<br />
6. Other <strong>Design</strong> Requirements, Constraints and Margins<br />
<strong>SSG</strong>(X) must be highly producible and able to support variants if needed. The platform must operate with<br />
current logistics support capabilities and have absolute minimum manning.<br />
7. Special <strong>Design</strong> Considerations and Standards<br />
Concept development shall consider and evaluate the following specific areas and features:<br />
• Hull design shall incorporate features to reduce drag and minimize structural weight.<br />
• Propulsion plant options shall consider air independent, non-nuclear systems to satisfy the need for reduced<br />
acoustic and infrared signatures while addressing required speed and endurance.<br />
• Reduced manning and maintenance factors shall be considered to minimize total ownership cost<br />
The following standards shall be used as design guidance:<br />
� SUBSAFE<br />
� Endurance Fuel: DDS 200-1<br />
� Electric Load Analysis: DDS 310-1<br />
Use the following cost and life cycle assumptions:<br />
� Ship service life = LS = 15 years<br />
� Base year = 2010<br />
IOC = 2015
